After the protagonist retired, the heroine quit

She walked in, her watery eyes turned around and fell on Long Wanyan's face. A cold light flashed in her silver eyes. Her body trembled instantly and she lowered her head quickly:

"S-Sorry! I went the wrong way."

After saying that, he opened the curtain and rushed out without looking back.

Coincidentally, at this moment a yellow-scaled mermaid passed by holding a basin of water.

Bang! The two of them bumped into each other. The panicked girl knocked him and he lost his balance. His body swayed and the basin of water in his hand tilted and spilled all over her.

Fortunately, this was clean water used to wash the patient's body, rather than dirty water, otherwise the girl would have been in trouble.

Even so, after being splashed with clean water, the girl's clothes were really wet. The wet clothes stuck to the girl's skin, revealing her immature figure. Her feet stepped on the cold frozen soil, and when the wind blew, she hugged her body and shivered.

Across the tent, Xiao Yu looked at the yellow-scaled mermaid who was at a loss as water was splashed on the girl due to an overturned basin, and said nothing.

I sighed in my heart, this circle is so small, what a fate!

Chapter 53: Chinese Yam and Wolfberry Soup

It’s not entirely fate, after all, the fire circle is so small that you can’t get in or out.

There are only a few medical practitioners in the fire circle. If they are injured, most of them will tend to come to the famous Xuanding pharmacist.

The warrior he met before had his body burned by the flames from the fire circle, and was then punished by Long Wanyan's iron fist, and then was swung by Xiao Yu's ice sword. Even if he had a body made of iron, after all this torment, his skin and flesh would be torn and his bones exposed.

The warrior was seriously injured. Although the injury was not serious, the body could not heal itself. Therefore, he came to see a doctor for treatment.

The person who just rushed into Xiao Yu and Long Wanyan's tent was the sister he was determined to protect even at the cost of his life.

At this moment, she was curled up in a ball, keeping warm by the fire.

Even though his clothes were wet in large areas, he still kept them on. I don't know if it was because he didn't bring any spare clothes or because there was a man named Xiao Yu in the tent.

She sat timidly and on pins and needles, occasionally peeking out her watery eyes, like a turtle peeking out of its shell, to glance at Xiao Yu and Long Wanyan who were talking, and then retracting her eyes, as if she was afraid of displeasing Long Wanyan.

The atmosphere in the tent suddenly became much colder. Seeing the girl's alert and frightened look, Xiao Yu knew that it would be useless to approach her and talk to her. It might even make the atmosphere even more awkward and even scare away this fawn-like girl.

After all, not long ago, he teamed up with Long Wanyan to beat up her brother. Especially Long Wanyan, who punched him hard and was murderous, and almost stabbed her to death with a gun.

Xiao Yu and the others were bad guys, as they beat up a young girl's beloved brother in front of her. No wonder she was so scared in the tent.

At the moment, the tent that Xiao Yu and Long Wanyan are resting in is still the one that belongs to the pharmacist Xuan Ding nearby. It is probably reserved for the patient's family to rest, and the ownership is not in Xiao Yu's hands.

"Cough cough..."

After thinking this through, Xiao Yu cleared his throat. The sound of his cough was like a frightened bird, which frightened the girl again.

Um...okay.

Xiao Yu moved his butt to give the frightened girl some personal space.

"Did you find those people from your Moon Shadow Sect this time?"

With one more person in the tent, the previous behavior naturally could not continue. Long Wanyan had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​revenge by kissing Xiao Yu in front of Li Yunshang, and instead asked about other matters.

Because of paying the Dragon Essence to Xiao Yu, Long Wanyan's dragon veins in her body were somewhat depleted. Naturally, her body would be weak for a while. At the same time, in her current condition, it would be difficult for her to walk in this densely populated fire circle area.

"No, I haven't heard any news about them in the circle. However, I did hear some other things about Qingyun Floating Sect, so I thought it would be better to tell you."

Xiao Yu swallowed his saliva, "Only some disciples of Qingyun Fuzong were present during the fire circle this time. The senior sister of Qingyun Fuzong, who served as the leading elder, is missing. And your new disciple Luo Yunqi..."

"..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the already quiet tent became even quieter. Sensing the atmosphere, the girl lowered her head uneasily, her eyes fixed on the drifting flames.

"Is that so... It's okay. I know Fu Xian. She knows her limits. The fire circle is not a problem for her. She must have been delayed by something. As a senior sister, she will protect her junior sisters. Nothing will happen to them."

Long Wanyan did not seem to panic, but spoke slowly. When a cultivator has cultivated to this level, he will have a spiritual sense that is almost like foresight. He will be alert when something happens and will be aware of things subconsciously, which are generally not wrong.

She has trust in Fu Xian, just like Xiao Yu has trust in Tie Yanran and the others.

What's more, the golden talisman that the child gave her on her birthday has not been broken yet, so it seems that nothing will go wrong for the time being.

Gulu gulu~

Just then, the soup in the pot began to bubble up and the surface of the soup was boiling. It seemed that it was almost done.

A faint fragrance wafted up, and the girl sniffed it and felt that it was the smell of yam stewed with wolfberries.

Xiao Yu also smelled this smell. Long Wanyan, who was standing beside him, stood up and looked at the pot with a slightly bright look in her eyes:

"It looks like it's cooked."

"What is this?" Xiao Yu knew it well, but he still subconsciously asked for confirmation.

“The Chinese yam and wolfberry soup you drank before was to nourish your body. The pharmacist gave me some guidance and added some other things.

By the way, I also put your Red Blood Phoenix Fruit in there. This fruit is about the same age as the Dragon Blood Mysterious Fruit. I guess its medicinal power is stronger than the previous one.

If you use the same type of medicine too much, your body will develop tolerance, so I didn’t add the dragon blood fruit this time.”

As she spoke, Long Wanyan picked up the spoon and stirred it. At this time, her jet-black hair was scattered and tied into a bun, which was placed on her chest. The soft firelight shone on her white jade face, dyeing it with a layer of warm color, revealing her gentle temperament, like a good wife and mother.

Hmm...a good wife and mother who only knows how to cook yam and wolfberry soup.

Xiao Yu pulled the corners of his stiff mouth, finally understanding why Long Wanyan took his sword-nourishing gourd before leaving. It seemed that he would have to drink the medicine for a while.

The girl in front of the fire covered her nose, feeling a little sour in the tip of her nose, especially after hearing that scary woman say that red-blooded phoenix fairy fruit was added to the soup in front of her.

She and her elder brother had picked them with great difficulty from a pile of burning mummies.

At that time, she said that after leaving the secret realm, she would boil it into a decoction to strengthen her body. Now...

Now this fruit is no longer hers, along with all the items obtained along the way, killing someone to pay with their life, losing money to avoid disaster.

It is not easy to survive in this extremely dangerous secret realm. Her elder brother is willing to do such a thing for her. Why should she be sad?

The secret realm is so scary...

So depressing...

Can I still go out?

She won’t die here, she wants to go home.

The girl hugged her knees and curled up even more aggrieved. The dim firelight and halos in front of her eyes were scattered all over the ground. She felt that the bustle on the side had nothing to do with her.

She squinted her eyes and tried her best to prevent the things from falling out, which would make her look even more embarrassed in front of the two men.

However, once this thought came out, the more I suppressed it, the more it wanted to burst out.

Just when the girl felt that everything was quiet and she was filled with sadness, a burst of hot air came and poked her at the same time.

"Hmm..." She raised her head, and sure enough, her tender little face was wrinkled.

The woman who had beaten her brother until he was covered in blood was standing in front of her, holding a bowl of steaming soup.

"Drink something to drive away the cold. You've been soaked in cold water. This place is different from the outside. Although it is surrounded by a circle of fire, the soil under your feet can block the circle of fire for a reason. The cold wind penetrates the bones. Even a monk will easily catch a cold after a long time."

Having said this, she paused, her eyes fell on the wet clothes on the girl's chest, and then continued:

"After drinking this soup, change your clothes. I kicked that guy out, so you don't have to worry about him peeking around."

The gentle woman said this, her tied-up hair and the pair of protruding coral dragon horns had long disappeared, as well as all the ferocious features on her body. She looked... not as ferocious as she remembered.

……

Outside the tent, Xiao Yu was holding the sword-raising gourd, listening to the movement inside. He curled his lips, then sipped and drank a sip. The aftertaste was sweet, it was still the same taste.

He clicked his tongue and tried his best to look far away. During this period of time, he found that the circle of fire in the distance had slowly moved forward a lot.

A frog boiled in warm water will shrink smaller and smaller!

Xiao Yu felt uneasy as he couldn't find any trace of Ziyun and the others, especially Empress Sanhua, who was specially given to her by Bu Suantian. If something unexpected really happened and they left the secret realm, it would be difficult to explain to the little glutinous rice dumpling.

After taking a few sips of the medicine, my stomach started to feel hot. This thing works faster than alcohol.

I have looked all over the fire circle, and that is the only place I haven’t been to.

The ancient frozen tree that reaches the sky...

It seems that's the only place.

Wow~

The door curtain was lifted, and a sturdy man walked out of the tent nearby.

Xiao Yu's thoughts were interrupted, and when he looked over, he saw that it was the girl's elder brother, the warrior who had framed him when the flames shrank.

This warrior walked out of the tent, and his injuries were mostly healed. After all, he was a Xuanding pharmacist, and his treatment methods were impeccable. As long as it was not a difficult or complicated disease, he could easily reconnect the minor external injury, even if it was a broken hand.

The bulging tiger eyes turned, and when he saw that it was Xiao Yu, his eyes drooped for a moment, then raised again, and finally walked over hesitantly, thinking of greeting:

"Hello?"

Chapter 54: Fortunately it is not a golden tree

"I'm not good."

Xiao Yu was thinking about something. He glanced at the reserved man and replied without thinking.

In an instant, the warrior's hand, which was raised to greet, froze in mid-air, and the iron-like man instantly drooped in place like a softened, wet sponge.

"Ahem... Just kidding. I'm fine. I remember you were from the Xiayun Sect, right? How's it going? Have you found your sect?!"

Why is it so unfunny...

Xiao Yu looked at the man who had a depressed expression and seemed to be still brooding over what had just happened, and spoke quickly.

"Yes, I'm Yue Zhong. Xiayun Sect...Xiayun Sect has lost all its members except me and my sister. It seems that the matter of apologizing will have to be postponed."

Xiao Yu's expression froze. He was just talking about something irrelevant. He could only say, "My condolences."

"It's okay. I expected it. After all, the fire circle came suddenly. If I hadn't been..." He paused here and looked at Xiao Yu.

"If it weren't for you, my sister and I would have died in the sea of ​​fire. What happened before..." The warrior named Yue Zhong's thick lips trembled, as if he wanted to say something about what happened before.

Seeing this, Xiao Yu quickly stretched out his hand and stopped him:

"Hey! Stop it. What happened before is over. I took the treasure your sister pulled out, and my companion also beat you up to vent his anger. Neither side owes the other party anything. Besides, no one died. Why do you always look so bitter and resentful? It's as if I'm the one who did it..."

"No... no, why are you like that? It's my fault..."

Xiao Yu blocked his ears and gestured to stop, "Alright, I will be the next Yueying Sect's Ye Ba... and write off the previous events as if they never happened."

"Ye Ba..." Yue Zhong paused and looked at Xiao Yu in surprise: "Aren't you called Ye Feng? The one reported in the Shanshui Daily..."

Xiao Yu's leisurely body stiffened.

"Stripping and running naked..."

"stop!"

Xiao Yu stepped forward and held Yue Zhong's shoulders. He was stunned by the ferocious expression on his face.

"Accident... it was an accident, okay? I guess you wouldn't believe it even if I told you. Damn! The mask was burned. I was wondering why I felt weird when I was wandering around just now. Never mind. It's not my reputation anyway... Anyway, you remember my name is Ye Ba now."

"Oh..." The man nodded, looking as if he understood but not quite. However, after being interrupted, his attitude became much more relaxed than at the beginning.

Xiao Yu loosened his hand and looked at the bare black sky, with a hint of doubt in his mind.

Taking the opportunity to ask the man in front of him, he could also divert his attention from the streaking perversion:

"By the way, do you know what happened to the two bright moons in the sky? They disappeared..."

"I don't know." Yue replied simply, but there was no other topic to talk about afterwards.

"That's it..."

Xiao Yu frowned, looking somewhat distressed. Without Mingyue, the boost bestowed upon him was also gone. He lost a great helper for no reason.

Especially next, he planned to test the strength of the white flame monster. It would be quite troublesome without the amplification.

There was no point in talking if they didn't agree. Xiao Yu and this warrior really had nothing to talk about.

He planned to go under the ancient tree and take a look as planned.

Before leaving, the image of the lonely girl hugging her knees flashed through his mind. He then looked at Yue Zhong, pointed to the tent nearby and said:
